Zhuge Liang- The Symbol of Wisdom

For those who happen to watch Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Sam Kok), you may know who Zhuge Liang is. Zhuge Liang, or Kong Ming, is a renowned and the most popular military strategist, a statesman, an inventor, an adviser for the warlord Liu Bei, who is a descendant of the Han Dynasty. His nickname is the sleeping dragon, because he is a highly talented man but he decides not to use his knowledge to work for anybody but does farming at his peaceful house. Liu Bei has visited him for three time , asking him to help him rebuild the Han Dynasty. Touched by Liu Bei's will, he agrees to help Liu Bei at all cost and will be loyal to Liu Bei for the rest of his life. That was the turning point in Liu Bei's entire life so far, as Kong Ming helps Liu Bei to conquer Jing Zhou and form the capital in Sichuan province and form a dynasty called "Shu Han". He vowed to revive the Han Dynasty. 

Zhuge Liang is not only a great military strategist, but also a great psychologist, since he can read people's mind clearly and manipulate this unique skill to his own advantage. His name is feared everywhere. There was a time when ZKL does not have many more troops left to defend the city, but he instead open the gate of the city, putting on a calm face and play his guqin comfortably on top of the city gate. When Sima Yi saw this, he thought that there would be ambush inside the city and Sima Yi ordered his troop to retreat. 

Later, he set up a plan to kill Sima Yi by using fire to burn all Sima's troops. However, while the fire is burning, the rain begins to rain and saves all the Cao Wei's troops. What is unbelievable is that Kong Ming is accomplished in astrology, as he can accurately predict the time when rain will come,  when the sky will be sunny or cloudy. Unexpectedly, the rain come and destroy his plan. What can i say?? This may be called "DESTINY". The god wants to save Sima Yi not Zhuge Liang. Perhaps, the god wants to put an end to the Han Dynasty. Do you believe in "DESTINY"?
